Thailand has opened registration for businesses installing rooftop solar power systems and for approved equipment from August 3 to September 30, as it seeks to strengthen safety standards and prepare for wider household adoption nationwide under its clean-energy transition policy.

Deputy Government Spokesperson Lalida Persvivatana explained that the initiative forms part of a policy led by Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul to prepare for the expansion of rooftop solar in the residential sector.
